Slight influence is drawn from the Helmsman console's position relative to the big screen like in
Star Trek.
I know I need a new TV.
While I was at it I've realised that i was beginning to run low on table space, even though I've arrange my wheel to be movable to when I need it, I won't have room for a Joystick and throttle. Thus I've decided to give it a go with a keyboard drawer.
Now I know its not anything new, but when good sliding and shiveling keyboard drawer that use to be $400 dollars, gets reduced to $100, and it actually saves me from having to lean over to type, I think its worth it. http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX46098 I Particularly needed to install the type that is attached by the center arm underneath, so that it wouldn't get in the way of my Steering when if I need to move it over.
Keyboard Drawer installation and Living room setup
I basically followed the standard setup using the template to drill holes and such.
However I have a slight variation. My table is one of those fold-ups with the metal bars in the way, and because of my desired set up my keyboard could not be center if I want to be aligned with my center monitor and still be able to watch TV on the Side.
My solution to this was to mount my center arm as close as possible to the right, and make the blue print fit me with some simple cutting action.
The rest of the set up is almost exactly the same as any other brand of center arm keyboard trays, but I did end up removing the complimentary mouse tray, cause it was getting too close to my thigh...
I had to also move my keyboard off to the right a bit to keep the keys centered, because even under normal circumstances I don't like how keyboards are usually placed off centered to somehow expect you to type off to the left.
Hopefully this method of setup, along with an awesome office chair, can promote a healthier lifestyle for everyone's Spinal Column.
